I'm a graduate in graphic design and I have ben induldged into the whole web thing for 4 years now. Never realy gave up on it even though the market went down after 01. I have tried to learn as much as possible regarding the new technology and all the extras. Although, datbasing is not something I do. I realy focused on UI development and design and tried to take that to a whole new level using Flash, action scripting and what not. I've gotten my fare share of clients and I manage get new ones here and there. But recently with all the outsourcing and competition I am having my doubts. I recently moved here to Vancouver and it's the same story. contacted a few agencies and it seems like taside from the few top prominent ones the rest are hustlin for a buck. Now, I have tried to be the optimist and I never give up easy. But there is a point where logic takes over and it kinda hits you in the head. (what am I doing???) Truth is I realy value my time and I have too admit, this stuff is extremly time consuming and the production time combined with all the extra time you have to put into experimenting, learnign new things and doing the business side of it, barely leaves any room for much else. So I'm at a point that I am seriously trying to figure out if putting more into this will be worth it in the long run. To be honest, I do love the nature of the work but the reality is when you specialise in one thing and want to make a descent living out of it, you cant help to think business and profit. So my question to all of you fellow designers, developers is, how do you feel about this line of business right now? Do you have your doubts about the future and what will come of it? Are you in genral happy about the time and effort you spend on this? Sorry to post such a long and serious post right off the bat. I need some opinions so I couldnt find a better place to post it. Hope you understand. I wish you all the best. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Web Design, Animation, Audio productions, Costume UI, Print, Consulting and much more at www.skylabz.com [small](Edited by [internallink=23062]hessman[/internallink] on 08-25-2004 13:27)[/small] Loading...
